Why resign when you lose your queen?
Sort:
I am a beginner with a rating below 800. I have won a good number of games having lost my queen.
However, many more opponents just resign when they lose their queen. Why?
I understand why at tournament level, but at this level we are all still learning.

Good question. Carry on doing it your way and take your wins vs these surrender monkeys!

When/if to resign is all a matter of personal preference, so long as you aren't unnecessarily stalling. Good luck with your chess!

Because the higher up the rating you go, the more accurately your opponent will play, so it is highly unlikely to make a comeback when you are down that much material.
Of course at your level it is quite possible your opponent could blunder their queen right back, so material advantage is not as significant.
When I was 800 I blundered my queen in several games and came back because my opponent made even more egregious blunders.
It no longer happens because my opponents are actually decent, and so can reliably convert such an enormous material advantage into a win.
